I managed to get a little bit further thanks to your reply. The rows are 
being added but the strings are missing. Below is similar code to what I 
have minus other junk that's being done.  I think all the pertinent 
stuff is there.  Am I missing something?

           typesSelect = new ComboBox(model);
           TreeStore typesStore = new TreeStore(typeof(string));
           string [] types = userAccount.GetTypes();
           typesSelect.Model = typesStore;                    
            for(int i = 0; i < types.Length; i++)
           {
               Console.WriteLine(types[i]);
               TreeIter iter = typesStore.AppendValues(types[i]);
           }

Thanks for the help. I've been at this for two days off and on and it's 
driving me nuts.
